Ok.. $58 or so.. :) I forgot to subtract the $21 for my current tele-service! But there are no other charges. A flat-rate of $40 (It's a bit less, but with taxes, I'm sure it'll be a bit more.. so I'll say $40) for unlimited use. And I don't get cable-tv.. Just $40 (or there-abouts) a mnth for internet... That's it.. That's all. nothing else.. nada.. zip... Only $40 (or there-abouts)... And I've no idea what you mean by "transit charges" or ISP costs.. That $40 (or there-abouts) is IT, man.. :) > >ok, we have 65+21+26+5-21=96 > >so, your cable-modem service must cost 96-79=$17??? >either: >1. you need to spend some of that $79 on a calculator >2. cable modem service is underpriced, and will soon collapse under its > own weight >3. you didn't factor other costs in > >please explain: > >1. what was the change to your cable bill when you added the cable modem > service (remember to include whether or not you dropped high-end movie > channels to keep the cost down) >2. what you now pay in transit fees (ISP costs) > >thanks, >Sam >
